What would be better to power 2 4 ohm Dual 15" 500 rms Seismic Audio speakers? This Crown amp or the Behringer NU3000 iNuke?

I'm really happy with how the Crown drives my Ohm F's for home theatre. The Crown has lots of input choices, such as RCA jacks. I know what the distortion specs are on the Crown but I couldn't find distortion specs for the Behringer; I suggest you look into that. I know the Crown has been super-good for me, but I will make the disclaimer that you should do more research before buying.

If you find that Peavey is too expensive you might want to look into a Behringer EP 2000 at Amazon.com for $249 also Sweetwater same price. I think this amp will give you what you're looking for at a reasonable price

get the pyle 3000W hybrid and that should work perfectly unless you feel like buying real expensive amplifiers.

Hi Rick, I would go with the EP-4000 over the iNuke any time I can. Of course there is also always the Seismic Audio Epicenter 5202 and Magnitude 2400 ;) The Epicenter is the closest power rating of any of these 4. The Magnitude is more powerful for more head room, but you can overload the speaker with that much power. The quality difference with these guys comes down to damping factor. The EP is &gt;300, but the Epicenter and Magnitude are &gt;400 for increased clarity. The iNuke has a lot of "power rating" but doesn't give the better performance.

The Crown XLS1000 is much more than you need I never had a problem with their amp I'm using the same amp powering 4 sub 12s & pair of 12" 3way full range speakers to my DJ equip. So you wont have a problem with this " bad boy " ....

Save your money and buy a real amp, planet audio is garbage and will push no where near 4000 watts. If you are going to run a 2 ohm final load, look in to something like a Kicker ZX1500 amp. This amp will push over 1500 true watts at 2 ohm, that would be over 750 to each sub, plenty of power for these. My Kicker ZX1500 came with a birth sheet with a factory tested 1789 watts. You can pick up one of these amps reasonable on ebay if you shop around. I paid $250 for mine used but was in new condition.

I'm no expert but I can say that integrated amps are designed for higher throughput. The thing you'll want to do is pick an amp based on what kind of speakers you plan to drive.

I don't know which is better but I've had this one for almost a year now and it is powering 4 component speakers and a kicker solo r5 and have not had any problems with it. Such a solid buy. I would defiantly recommend this amp. True grit! And I live in Phoenix so heat is not a problem for it! Hope that helps.

I have the hifonic 1000w amp, and you cant do 2 so I got stuck with the 4. Ive had them for a while now and they still wang!!! Best bang for your buck, I got them for $32 each so I cant complain but now I want something more.

The HK 3390 has "decent" Phono and Tuner sections. Having a Phono preamp at all is valuable. Both are mid-Fi and listenable. The real value in this large, heavy hardware is the clean, robust power amp section, which will crank any size speakers. A great value IMHO.

That really depends on the size of your venues and how much other amp and PA gear it has to work alongside. Personally I gig with this all time - bars and small concert hall types of venues - and it kicks out s lot of sound. 5 piece band with all the setup that entails - and together with the Behringer head I use to power it, the Seismic is more than suitable for me.

Have a listen to the Arcam amps. They are a good match. The Nad line is also a good fit. I am using two nuforce mono blocks and have no complaints. It's worth getting a quality DAC.

Hi Jamie! I honestly think you will be better served of by using the other Crown XLS model, the XLS 1500, which is a 525W per channel @ 4 Ohms. On the other hand, you can certainly bridge the XLS 1000, as it has a power output of 1,100W @ 4 Ohms impedance. Kind regards, M Lopes

The iNuke has been measured to put out about 2000 watts RMS per channel into a 2 Ohm load. Be advised the iNuke 6000 cannot be bridged, just a heads up.

The best amp wattage would be right around 3200 cause they peek at 1600 each speaker. I made the mistake of only getting a 1800 watt kenwood which is a good amp just not enough power. No matter what they will bump though

Solo-Baric L7 has an RMS of 750w but the max or peak is 1500w. Get a nice amp in the sweetspot and the subwofer sounds pretty damn loud.

AMP A-S500 has 85 watts RMS or continuous power. This should allow you to use all 4 speakers using A & B speaker terminals. I have 4 Paradigm speakers (2 Micro and 2 Titans) hooked up to A & B terminals and it sounds great with Cable, CD, DVD, and Radio (FM Rock stations). I prefer stereo to surround sound and for $399.95, I am getting more than my $$$$'s worth.
